DOC NYC

DOC NYC, New York's only film festival dedicated exclusively to documentary films, and now the largest of its kind in the United States, begins November 10th and runs through November 17th, 2016. The festival began in 2009 and screenings will happen at the IFC Center in the West Village, Chelsea's SVA theater, and the Bow Tie Chelsea Cinema. The Wall Street Journal calls DOC NYC the "essential summit for all kinds of documentary filmmaking." In the past, celebrities and artists like Susan Sarandon, Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, Russell Simons, Naomi Watts, and Fred Armisen have attended. DOC NYC has a great track record at the Academy Awards, having hosted the last three Oscar winners for best short documentary category. Get your tickets now!
